"The last 16 months, it's like he's making up for all those years of not being injured.

"It's bad luck and it's frustrating because he adds something completely different to JJ in the centre or Rocco on the wing."

"He's actually travelling faster than most people on the field and he's a skilful guy. He's a triple threat."

The good news for Fruean, the coaches and the fans who want to see him in action is he is back training with the rest of the squad and may be fit for selection for the Challenge Cup semi-final against Stade Francais in Paris on Sunday.
